When did the angel lose her wings

When she flew from the realms

and the darker dreams

All the gold melted down

and the gates were closed

Daddy!

Life was revealed

and the past exposed

Oh, oh, oh, from back to forth

Sister, oh, oh, oh...

- Hey, Daddy.

- Hey, morning, baby girl.

Promise me,

anything you don't know how to fix,

you'll leave it for a handyman.

Leslie, I got this.

You worry about getting to work on time.

- Have fun tonight on your date.

- I will.

I'm getting somewhere

I'm gonna be there

I'm gonna be there

Been dreaming, dreaming, dreaming

Been dreaming, dreaming, dreaming

Been dreaming, dreaming, dreaming

Been dreaming, dreaming, dreaming

When did the angel fade from white?

Lost her place in the clouds

Took her cues from the night

Set apart by the fall

that destroyed her grace

But the heat from the flames

never touched her face

I rise in the day

of the blazing sun

Saw above all the hate

in the need of blood

I was pressed to succumb to

the dragging down

Yeah, my hand grabbed the line

and I pulled me out

Oh, oh, oh, from back to forth

Sister, oh, oh, oh...

Hey, Leslie. How you doing?

Good morning.

Hey.

Looking good. Improvement. I like it.

- Just remember to keep that elbow in.

- Okay.

Let me take one of these plates off for you.

Now, work your way back up

to that next plate now.

All right.

- Hey, girl.

- What time is the blind date?

- 8:
00.

- 8:
00? What you gonna wear?

- Black.

- Black.

See you tomorrow.

I'm getting somewhere

I'm gonna be there

I'm gonna be there

Been dreaming, dreaming, dreaming

Been dreaming, dreaming, dreaming

Been dreaming, dreaming, dreaming

Been dreaming, dreaming, dreaming

Can I get a little help over here?

- Ticket, please.

- Hello?

- Just give it a little pull.

- Okay.

One, two, three!

Sorry.

Sorry about that.

All righty. Take good care of her now.

Hello, Denzel.

Mark?

- Leslie?

- Yes.

- Nice to meet you.

- You, too. Thank you.

- Shall we?

- Yeah, sure.

All right.

It was like the skies opened up

and I heard the angels singing.

And that's when I knew.

- A little more wine?

- Thank you.

So, what about kids?

As many as we can have.

- Wow.

- I mean, at least two or three kids.

- Really? As long as...

- Absolutely.

All those hours you work?

You have a pretty demanding career

as well, though. Physical therapy.

- There we go.

- Cheers.

Everybody I know who tries tiramisu

is hooked on it.

I don't want to be the next junkie in line.

And you know what? I'm your pusher.

All right?

Open wide.

That is delicious.

We need to wash this down

with some dessert wine.

- I agree.

- Why not?

Let's get toasted.

Let's... Let's get twisted.

You want me to keep feeding you?

We can do this all night.

All night?

- Wow.

- I had such a great time tonight.

- Me, too.

- Yes. Absolutely.

You know, next time maybe we could

catch a movie or, better yet, a Nets game.

You are such an amazing woman.

I'm serious. I mean, any man that gets you

is gonna be beyond lucky.

I'm just out of a very long relationship.

And, you know,

my feelings are still kind of raw.

- I miss her, it's...

- You're not emotionally ready.

- Yeah.

- And you need to be ready.

Yes. I am so happy you get it.

See, you're the bomb.com,

that's what I'm talking about.

I mean, you know, but we can still...

- Hang out.

- ...hang out.

Yeah, I mean, you're, you're...

- Good people.

- ...good people.

Look, I'm sorry, I'm...

Can I get a hug?

- Sure.

- Thank you.

Yes. What kind of car do you have?

He knows.

- Here you go.

- Thank you.

So,

how about them Nets, huh?

So, how was the date?

- Was he cute?

- Yep.

- And?

- And he thought

I made the perfect homegirl.

I'm sorry.

But you do have homegirl

written all over you.

What? I'm just being my regular self.

You are not supposed to show him

your regular self

until you've been married for five years.

What is all this?

Research.

I was reading The Power of Now

and it dawned on me,

a girl doesn't just become the wife

of an NBA franchise player by accident.

It takes strategy, good intel,

and vision.

I'm sure that's what Eckhart Tolle

thought when he wrote that book.

Say what you want,

but don't be hating on your girl

when she's a brand.

Morgan, what are you talking about?

These NBA players' wives?

I mean, one's got a fragrance,

the other has a clothing line coming out.

Brands.

I'm almost 30.

I got to start thinking about my future,

like now.

You really scare me sometimes.

You know, you're crashing

in my guest room.

Your BMW got repossessed

'cause you stopped making the payments.

Does any of this research

involve you getting a job?

This is my job. Have you been listening?

- I'm going to bed.

- Good night.

You still rolling to the game

with me tomorrow?

Already working on my outfit.

It takes good bait to catch a fish.

I must be fishing in the wrong river.

Okay.

Warm, feminine, peachy.

Hey, Mom.

How you gonna get a man

dressed like that?

Well, Ma, I'm going to the game.

And, no. Where's Daddy?

He's in the kitchen

working on another one of your projects.

- Daddy.

- Yeah?

I thought we said we were gonna let

a plumber handle those new faucets.

Well, why waste your money on a plumber

when your dad's got this under control?

Leslie!

Now this is how you get a man.

I told her to wear a dress.

To a basketball game?

Yeah.

We have just minutes to go here

in the fourth quarter

of the season opener at the lzod Center.

The New Jersey Nets up by 10

over the Orlando Magic,

thanks much to the tremendous effort

by star point guard Scott McKnight.

McKnight, one of the best point guards

in the league,

Iiving up to that reputation tonight.

Dribbles left, looks inside,

he 's got nothing there.

He 's gonna take it himself,

behind the back, he puts it up.

It is good, and he 's fouled on the play.

And that could be the dagger,

even though there 's plenty of time

left here in this ball game.

Any Orlando fans here in the Center...

- Go! Let's go!

- ...ha ve got to be feeling the pain.

Code blue! Code blue! Get a crash cart

in here, we losing the patient!

Hold up! We losing the patient!

Scott McKnight shot 89%

from the free throw line last season,

but he has been 100% tonight.

Let's see ifhe stays on his hot streak.

And he's done it.

That's 11 in a row for Scott McKnight,

and Dwight Howard

has 12 rebounds on the night.

Look at that. Look at that!

I love the players' wives section.

Girl, the most exclusive three rows

in any arena.

Leslie, you should see her bag.

She's got the new Domenico Vacca.

Nobody's got that yet. Nobody.

McKnight's not gonna make that shot.

What? Hold up! Hold up! I'm getting a call.

McKnight, to his right.

It's long distance!

Shut up, lady!

I would shut up, but wait, hold up,

I'm getting another phone call.

Hello. Oh, it's President Obama.

He wants to spend some money

on defense.
